Zombie Cliche Lookout: Run or Hide

When it comes to zombies, you want to put as much distance and as many obstacles as possible between you and the zombies. Of course people can’t run forever.

Well The Walking Dead is certainly rocketing toward the season finale at quite a clip, isn’t it? We’ve only been in Alexandria for a few episodes, and Rick has already pulled a gun on the town’s leader while he’s covered in blood and going on and on about fighting for survival.
